As a formerly messy person with too many things this is what helped me :

Declutter ( if you don’t want to clean it then don’t keep extra decor )

I do small 5 -10 min cleaning sessions a few times a day .
This means my house is vacuumed/ mopped / dusted / bathrooms are all cleaned within a week .

If I want to deep clean, I do small areas that take less then 10 min so that way I don’t feel overwhelmed and I still put things away after cleaning in the proper places

I don’t have a schedule to do anything but I don’t let these things fall behind more then 2 weeks .

My house is never crazy dirty and guests can come within 5-10 min

This is also great for anxiety

Keeping my home clean is one of my gifts to me. I deserve to live in a clean home. I enjoyed the video.

Best cleaning advice ever! From a busy man who wants a clean home but works long hours. I would add something: Take advantage of times when we sense we have extra energy, use that to clean, because if we don't we miss that window of opportunity, and other times are too tired.

There is a difference between having a tidy clean home and having a sanitary clean home...as a young mom of three my home is always sanitary but hardly ever tidy clean...but I’m ok with that, I do what I can when I can and that’s good enough for me.

I have quite bad depression and cleaning is often way too much for me to handle, but learning how to do it in tiny chunks has been a lifesaver for me. I dust a few things while waiting on the kettle; I vacuum before showering so I have tidy floors to walk around barefoot on; I am so much of a stickler about making my bed every morning that I legitimately can't get my day going without doing it; I try to pick up at least one thing that can be thrown away/put away whenever I get up or leave a room.


It's not perfect, and I still get overwhelmed with boxes and piles of stuff gathering dust in corners, but something done poorly is better than nothing done perfectly!

I’ve struggled with the issue of cleaning my whole life (I’m 61). I grew up in a home where that’s all my mom did, clean, every day, and I mean deep cleaning at that. I HATED it because she needed to have a perfectly clean home at all times (I think that contributed to my hatred of cleaning lol!). I do love a clean home, but I hate to clean. I’m also a fairly low energy person, always have been, so when I know I want to do a thorough cleaning I go to my local coffee house and get a large turbo charging cold brew coffee and that helps me immensely! Having said that I’m very organized and very good at decluttering, so if you don’t look in the corners or give my house the white glove test things always look pretty good on the surface, and I can live with that. In my ideal world I would be able to hire a really good cleaning service to come in to my home every couple of weeks to clean for me :).

Been watching for years. Never gets old.

You have helped me so much. Being disabled and depending on others so much because I am high fall risk you have helped me to be able to get my cleaning done in between times my care attendant is here doing it. You asked what is acceptable to me well as far as cleaning and that is a tough question. I would like to say as long as it is tidy and every thing is wiped down would be acceptable. But unfortunately because of my health I can't say that, you see I pretty much have to have a disinfected home on the daily to keep me out of the hospital. I use your diy disinfectant everyday and I am loving it. For the longest this year I was having severe intestinal issues once we found the problem I began using you diy products for cleaning and disinfecting and all the intestinal issues are gone. Thank you Melissa.

I am one of those 100s of people you trained to clean. I have learned so much by watching your videos. I started cleaning houses almost a year ago, i started not doing so good, i found your channel & my cleaning has improved so much, the people i clean for notice & let me know all the time how much i have improved & i honestly have you to thank!

[griselleisara]

I work. 35-40 hours a week. So I really don’t have that much time to clean. What has worked for me. Is the decluttering. I have less things. So I clean less. ❤️

Did you say "really grody?" Flashback highschool, long island lol.
This week I started cleaning daily after work. I only did the deep clean kitchen and wrapped up the laundry on Saturday. It was awesome! I even had time Saturday night to meal prep which is why I'm sipping coffee and watching YouTube instead of cooking 5 meals. I used to spend all Friday night with one huge cleaning but if I'm cleaning all bathrooms on Thursday and mopping and dusting on Wednesday etc. My house is clean regularly and Saturday is just tidying! Game changer

[Boyhead]

I grew up where Saturdays was cleaning day - you watch your Sat morning cartoons, then clean (I aged myself - but who cares)... and to this day, that's what I do. I binge your channel - love the ideas and tips. I appreciate it and I know my mom would too! She loves a clean home!

[SarahStudt]

I have your book! Tbh I found it in the $5 bin at my grocery store, but I absolutely love it and it motivates me to clean without getting distracted watching videos.

[tessa]

Loved the hair and makeup in this video! Loved the video content too. 😊 I struggle with trying to keep the house very clean but with two kids (1&3) that’s not always possible. My motto I try to live by is “is the house clean enough that if someone unexpectedly dropped by I wouldn’t be totally embarrassed?” It’s helped a lot. And I tend to put off cleaning the rooms that most people wouldn’t go into ie our bedroom/bathroom. Laundry room, kids bedrooms.... those usually get neglected sometimes.

[mominator]

This a truly wonderful video! Clear, concise and informative. Thank you!

[gwendolyng]

Ahhhh, stepping back and looking at the big picture to see the forest for the trees. Love it!

[carmiecruz]

I loooove your 3 waves system. Actually im doing it in our home. 😊 thank you so much. ❤

[kuro.hitsuji]

So I know you have a cleaning business, but would you be willing to (with a customer's permission) film a cleaning session in a home? I'm just curious what that looks like!

[silviajordan]

Been following you for years and girl this is by far my favorite video the advice you’re giving us here is just so good. I don’t want a perfect Martha Stewart home I want a nice, clean comfortable home
